Chapter 543: War in Progress (1)

Holding the rifle in his arms, Shen Bei sat on the roof of an infantry fighting vehicle. The wind blowing in the face is carrying radiation dust, which can irritate people's skin and cause pain.

The fully loaded convoy was traveling along the ridge. There are no roads at all in the mountains, and after heavy rains, the originally solid soil turned into a mess of mud. What looks like a solid road surface is most likely actually a swamp. The powerful Jingyuan core engine roared at full strength. The infantry fighting vehicle was like a shambling giant, with grass and clay wrapped between the tracks.

Off to war.

After Shen Bei arranged the follow-up matters for Shelter 36, Blue Demon Queen planned for five days to complete all the recruitment matters.

Among them, in addition to the combatants who are members of the escort team, there are also many civilians who voluntarily join the expedition.

The term "civilian" is no longer applicable.

Most of them were newly promoted superpowers during You Wuchang's reign.

Under the temptation of millions of crystal source cores, as long as the money is available, people will naturally come to sign up.

Not only do you get money, but you also get meritorious deeds.

This is undoubtedly a credit to Sanctuary 36, which is thriving and has restored normal order, to seize the opportunity.

What's more, this time Shen Bei personally led the team.

There are not many cases where the leader directly fights. In contrast, Shen Bei leads by example, which further stimulates the team's fighting spirit.

Although Shen Bei's expedition was almost out of personal gain.

But when the Spider Queen sent personnel to support You Wuchang, her men caused great harassment to the residents of Shelter 36, robbed them, forcibly connected their bodies, and even killed them for no reason.

The residents of the sanctuary have long been filled with resentments. If You Wuchang hadn't ordered them to resist, they would have started fighting during the reign of Shen Bei or other leaders.

Therefore, under the dual influence, everyone believed that they were a righteous force.

Even though the Spider Queen is extremely powerful and reaches the ceiling of this world, they are still not afraid.

Because... Shen Bei has already stated that he will deal with the Spider Queen, and others can just raid the formation.

They said they were raiding the formation, but these soldiers knew in their hearts that this was just talk, and the battle still had to be fought.

Otherwise, there will be no merit!

Shen Bei's spirit did not dare to relax and he was highly nervous. He asked the lightest armored off-road vehicle to explore the road ahead. That way, even if it got stuck in the mud, it could be dragged out with the powerful power of the infantry fighting vehicle.

What worried him most was the power armor, whose humanoid appearance made them least adaptable to muddy ground. It is also the hardest to pull out if it gets stuck in the mud.

Regardless of these, marching in the mountains is still a very pleasant thing.

Thanks to the heavy rain earlier, there was plenty of moisture in the air. The tenacious wasteland plants took advantage of this period of sufficient moisture to sprout, bloom, pollinate and set seeds like crazy, bursting out the energy they had accumulated throughout the year.

The Weiwei Mountains look like giants towering over this land. After changing from the previous yellowing, there is lush green everywhere, and the bright green seems to be able to squeeze out oil. Pink, red, white, and variegated wildflowers are everywhere. It's hard to believe that this is the same world.

If there were no wars and evil seeds, Shen Bei would be willing to take Shen Nan to build a few huts here, and it would be good to live here.

Shen Bei looked at the long and winding river. This new river has no name and was formed by heavy rainfall.

Here, Shen Bei captured the electronic waves through the armor, and the communication signals in Shelter 8 became very active, full of restlessness and uneasiness.

Multiple drones have been monitoring the entire area in shifts.

They are active and come from all directions.

They were watching the convoy from a distance, like wolves watching their prey.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

An infantry fighting vehicle stopped and fired a burst of fire from its cannon. The high-explosive bombs whizzing away exploded violently, and you could faintly see stumps and broken arms blown up into the sky.

"We can't move forward like this anymore. Shelter No. 8 will be like a pack of wolves dealing with a tiger, exhausting us with tentative attacks one after another. In the end, everyone's heads will be cut off."

The Blue Enchantress's voice sounded in the communication system.

Shen Bei responded: "No one will stop us."

Shen Bei held the rifle and stared at the ridge in the distance, where the personnel of Shelter No. 8 also appeared indistinctly. They were more than two thousand meters away from the convoy and were monitoring the convoy with binoculars.

He picked up the heavy machine gun on the infantry fighting vehicle, pressed the barrel of the gun and fired a long burst at the No. 8 Shelter personnel.

The rain of bullets roared away, splashing the soil on the ridge, turning into a chain of fire and sweeping into the crowd.

The personnel in Shelter No. 8 were caught off guard and were swept to the ground one after another. The remaining personnel climbed down the ridge in embarrassment. They ignored the wounded who were left screaming and were dead after being hit by heavy machine guns.

"Freely attack all No. 8 shelter people who appear in sight and drive them away. Before dark today, we must reach 001 heights, capture the entire mountain, and establish defensive positions there. These No. 8 shelter personnel hang far away We are waiting for an attack at night."

Shen Bei gave the order.

The two Titans in Shelter 36 and Shelter 8 are working side by side.

There is a distance of more than 20 kilometers between the two.

And Hill 001 is a mountain marked by Shelter No. 36 itself. On the other side of Shelter No. 8, the same hill may be called Hill 009.

Because people have long forgotten the names of various mountains.

Some large mountains can still remember their names, such as Changbai Mountain and Mount Tai.

Small hills simply don't have names left.

Humans in the famine world really don't have the energy or need to study and remember the names of mountains.

Once you pass by, it may be many years later next time, so useless information will be filtered out.

Shen Bei has long been familiar with the terrain on the march. Hill 001 is dangerous, and the millimeter-wave radar of the infantry fighting vehicle can monitor the river valley within a radius of more than ten kilometers on the mountain.

"Taking down Hill 001 means opening a small gap in the encirclement of Shelter No. 8."

The commander of Shelter No. 8 is not stupid. According to the information shown in the picture sent by the high-altitude drone, there is a high probability that there is a headquarters of Shelter No. 8 on Hill 001, with about 400 militants stationed there.

The closer to Hill 001, the more frequent the calls from Shelter No. 8 are intercepted in the communication. The voices of these Shelter No. 8 personnel sound arrogant and conceited, and even their fanatical prayers to the Spider Queen can be heard.

Shen Bei had a blank expression on his face. He knew how tragic the upcoming collision would be.

If Hill 001 cannot be taken down before nightfall, their situation will be bad.

Although they will not suffer heavy losses in the next attack, without a safe foothold, morale and physical strength will eventually be exhausted in repeated attacks.

From a distance, the river valley in front of Hill 001 is like a paradise, with a river with abundant water running through it.

Shen Bei took a deep breath: "Check weapons, ammunition, and prepare for battle!"

Don't be surprised that gunpowder is useless in war. Whoever underestimates gunpowder will suffer a great loss.

Artillery fire coverage can usually kill half of the opponent's combat power, while there is no loss on our side.

After Shen Bei gave the order, all the soldiers looked solemn.
